  • story
    101 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is generally considered enjoyable, featuring a straightforward plot centered around a priestess on a mission to spread her faith and rescue a friend, with themes of purity versus corruption. While some reviewers noted the narrative's predictability and generic elements, others appreciated its humor and self-awareness, as well as the ability to influence the story through player choices. Overall, the story is rated above average, with a mix of engaging moments and typical RPG tropes, making it a decent experience for fans of the genre.

    • “I'd even say that the story is better than average, which is more than many of 'these type of games' can claim.”
    • “The game does let you choose how to play it and the story changes slightly based on your decisions.”
    • “The story premise is a tale of purity vs. corruption, with a number of twists to evil vs good.”
    • “And I'm not stupid, so I'm usually able to finish a game, but this one just seemed to end on its own, before I could finish it myself. I just roamed the map trying to figure out what the next mission or goal was, and I never discovered it. The game kind of sucked and became a disappointment.”
    • “We're left with a standard trope story (even if it's sometimes self-aware), erotic content that isn't particularly noteworthy (a couple of good moments, a few bad, mostly meh), and subpar JRPG play.”
    • “The main storyline is quite straightforward, much like most H-RPGs from Kagura, but there are also some predictable twists along the way.”
  • gameplay
    64 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in this game is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating the straightforward mechanics and RPG elements, while others find it lacking in depth and strategy. Many reviews highlight the balance between adult content and gameplay, with some enjoying the corruption mechanics and side activities, while others criticize the removal of certain features and the reliance on defeat mechanics. Overall, the game offers a blend of standard RPGMaker gameplay with some unique elements, but opinions vary on its execution and enjoyment.

    • “Gameplay is fine, fights are fine, the aspect of being able to restore your shrine back to its full glory is pretty nice and the scenes are also fine.”
    • “It strikes that perfect balance between actual gameplay and h-content where you can move between both seamlessly.”
    • “When judged by gameplay alone, Ambrosia stands head and shoulders above most other games in its genre.”
    • “Also, the entire time-management mechanic is removed for plot changes, as well as any access to the skill tree for some reason.”
    • “Instructions didn't match game behavior, and whole systems (such as gaining devotion, a primary game mechanic) don't work.”
    • “But they all end up playing pretty much identically, with the same old tropes and the same old bland ill-conceived gameplay.”
  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are a mixed bag, with some users praising the high-quality artwork and appealing art style, while others note that the visuals, particularly in h-scenes, can be rough and less detailed compared to competitors. Overall, the game's visuals are considered enjoyable and fitting for the genre, contributing positively to the gameplay experience despite some inconsistencies.

    • “One of the best lewd RPG Maker games ever made, what every game hopes to achieve: fun combat that isn't too grindy, a nice environment, gorgeous graphics, and fun situations to put your character in if you're into that.”
    • “So good, this game has all the regular tropes from Kagura games, but the artwork is really well done and there's enough lead-in to keep things interesting for 10+ hours of gameplay.”
    • “It's nicely arranged, and the artwork is wonderful.”
    • “Due to this being the dev's first game, a lot of the visuals are a little rough around the edges, especially the h-scenes.”
    • “Graphically, the h-scenes are okay, nothing to write home about, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they're often incredibly hot.”
    • “The artwork is average for the genre; it’s convincing and cute, but not quite as detailed or elaborate as in some of the competing games out there.”
  • grinding
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is a mixed bag; while some players find it enjoyable and rewarding, particularly for those who appreciate farming and resource gathering, others feel it can become tedious and overly time-consuming, especially when aiming for 100% completion or specific endings. Many reviews highlight that while the game offers a decent pace and engaging environments, the necessity of grinding for experience and resources can lead to frustration, particularly in the mid-game and post-game content. Overall, the experience varies significantly based on individual playstyles and goals within the game.

    • “It's not tedious; the areas are plentiful and come at a decent pace.”
    • “One of the best RPG Maker games ever made. It achieves what every game hopes for: fun combat that isn't too grindy, a nice environment, gorgeous graphics, and engaging situations for your character.”
    • “This requires a ton of grinding and, realistically, the only viable way to get the followers you need for better spells is to play as a turbo-sloot the whole time.”
    • “As it stands, stuff like fishing, crafting, and the dull grinding just seems a totally unnecessary and redundant waste of time.”
    • “The game will get grindy after a certain point, with enemies becoming too powerful, leading you to go through the same areas, cutting down slimes and other creatures to train.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised for its fitting and classic RPG style, enhancing the overall experience with a relaxing soundtrack that players enjoy even outside of gameplay. Many users appreciate the sound effects and the quality of the soundtrack, contributing positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “Fitting, classic RPG music and sound effects.”
    • “I enjoyed all the sounds Ambrosia had to offer.”
    • “The relaxing soundtrack accompanying the story can be pleasing to listen to even when we are not playing.”
    • “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it easy to tune out.”
    • “The sound effects are often jarring and do not match the atmosphere of the game.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been reported to have significant stability issues, with numerous bugs and glitches causing characters and locations to disappear, and players experiencing problems such as being returned to the title screen after completing the game. Despite downloading patches, many users feel that these issues remain unresolved, leading to a disappointing experience overall.

    • “Game seems buggy as hell with people and locations disappearing or not appearing at all. I didn’t even see any of the scenes in this, even with the patch downloaded. It didn’t seem to take effect, and beating the game just took me back to the title screen. I don’t see any option for New Game Plus or anything. Honestly, a letdown.”
    • “Decent game but buggy as shit.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its humor, featuring plenty of funny moments and quirky characters that create an endearing world. It effectively breaks the fourth wall and pokes fun at itself, adding a lighthearted touch to its otherwise familiar plot. Overall, the humor enhances the experience by preventing the game from taking itself too seriously.

    • “The game pokes fun at itself, breaks the fourth wall a couple of times through books that explain plot points and game mechanics, and the characters are pretty quirky and funny, making the world you inhabit endearing.”
    • “Plenty of funny moments, and post-game offers some sweet extras.”
    • “It was funny and didn't take itself too seriously, which is welcome, especially when dealing with a plot as overused as the corrupted priestess.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game excels in replayability, offering players the ability to customize combat difficulty and starting stats, as well as featuring multiple endings that encourage exploration of different playthroughs.

    • “The game has good replayability with multiple endings.”
    • “Somewhat replayable since you can customize combat difficulty and starting stats.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews highlight that the female protagonist's perspective offers a deeper and more nuanced character development, allowing players to engage with her complexities and moral dilemmas. This approach contrasts with traditional male protagonists, providing a unique experience of manipulation and corruption from a more intimate viewpoint.

    • “Playing from a female protagonist's perspective allows for a deeper exploration of her character development, making me feel like an evil god secretly corrupting and manipulating her.”
    • “The character development in this game is incredibly nuanced, providing a rich narrative that keeps me engaged and invested in their journeys.”
    • “I love how the game allows characters to evolve based on player choices, making each decision feel impactful and meaningful.”
    • “Instead of playing a male protagonist who engages in shallow relationships, playing from a female protagonist's perspective allows for a deeper exploration of her character development, as if I am an evil god secretly corrupting and manipulating her.”
    • “The character development feels rushed and superficial, leaving little room for meaningful growth or connection with the characters.”
    • “I was disappointed by how one-dimensional the characters are; their development lacks depth and fails to engage the player emotionally.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by a dark and corrupting narrative, with players noting a lack of wholesome elements and a focus on defeat and corruption themes. While the gameplay is simple and lacks depth, the presence of numerous defeat scenes contributes to a more somber and morally ambiguous experience. Players seeking a lighthearted or uplifting experience may find the game's tone unsettling.

    • “I need some wholesome soul food now.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its enjoyable atmosphere, highlighting its engaging qualities that contribute to an overall fun experience.
